GeoGuessr is a geography game using visual clues in Google Streetview to find your location. Sort of a "where in the world" for the Google Maps generation. You are plunked down on a random patch of the globe, the middle of a city street, the barren desert, rolling countryside. You then have to figure out where you are by looking for clues around you, street signs, flora/fauna, etc. You can select timed or un-timed, & you are assigned points based on how close your pinned guess is the actual location. Beyond the obvious use for geography students, this would be a great tool for a quick fiction writing exercise or pass-along story.
GeoSettr allows you to create your own GeoGuessr challenge with 5 rounds. It gives you a URL to share with others once you are done with creating your challenge.
